DeWitt Clinton High School

DeWitt Clinton High School has a rich history of educating students in the Bronx for over 100 years. This comprehensive high school offers a wide variety of programs to fit every studentÂ’s needs. These programs are structured as small learning communities (SLCs) where students choose their program of interest. The SLCs offer a personalized, safe, nurturing environment for learning with its own Assistant Principal, guidance counselor, and support staff. Students benefit from the caring of a small school setting within a large school environment and from the range of instructional programs and activities that only a large school can offer. All students receive a core curriculum and begin their SLC specialty in the ninth grade.

• Students explore the numerous career pathways available in the health professions. With rigorous courses and unique learning opportunities, students acquire background knowledge to continue their studies in health careers after high school. Some potential careers include medical technologists and assistants, nursing, patient care, medical billing, and veterinary studies.
• This program is for students who have been in the country for less than three years and are English Language Learners. The curriculum is designed to develop the studentsÂ’ conversational language and writing skills using ESL strategies. After completing one full year of ELA instruction in the NewcomersÂ’-Global Community, students will transition into one of our theme-based SLCs.
• Students are challenged to excel academically and encouraged to develop leadership qualities and take advantage of many internship programs, summer programs, and partnership opportunities. Students take honors-level core subjects that emphasize Math and Science as well as AP and college courses. A strong academic foundation coupled with enrichment opportunities help to develop a well-rounded student who is prepared for higher education: a productive citizen able to continue our schoolÂ’s legacy.
• Students develop 21st century skills as they deepen their exploration in fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Specifically, students will learn coding, computer programming, mechanical design, and how they relate to areas such as robotics. In addition, students will learn about environmental engineering with a focus in agriculture and sustainability.
• Students learn about the arts through hands-on experience, written work, and art creation. Field trips take advantage of the rich cultural environment of New York City. Students visit art galleries and museums and attend dramatic productions both on and off Broadway. Students also learn the business end of promoting music, drama, creative writing, and visual arts through direct involvement in hands-on projects taking place at concerts, art galleries, poetry slams, and play productions.
